Patriots injuries: New England still playing waiting game with Mack Hollins’ health

The New England Patriots' season is hanging in the balance as they continue to wait for the return of key receiver Mack Hollins, who suffered an abdominal injury during their last game against Baltimore. Despite being eligible to come off injured reserve, Hollins has yet to be activated by the team.

Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel made it clear that Hollins will not be participating in practice today, indicating that his return is still uncertain for Sunday's AFC championship game against Denver. The Patriots are already dealing with injuries at other positions, including cornerback Carlton Davis, who took part in a non-contact session after suffering a concussion.

Hollins' potential return would be a significant boost to the team, as he has been a reliable pass-catching target and effective blocker in the run game. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs expressed excitement about Hollins' potential return, stating that "we're all going to be excited" if he's cleared to play. However, if Hollins doesn't make it back for Sunday's game, the Patriots will need to rely on other players, including Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III, to fill the void.

The Patriots' injury situation is adding another layer of complexity to an already challenging season, but with a healthy Hollins, they may just have enough to overcome their opponents.
 
Ugh, I'm getting so anxious about this - can't Mack Hollins just get back on the field already?! 🤯 The Patriots are already struggling with injuries and this is like the icing on the cake... I mean, a healthy Hollins would make all the difference, he's such a reliable target. And Stefon Diggs seems to be hyped about it too! 😊 But if they can't get him back in time for Sunday, they're gonna have to rely on other guys like Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III... that's not gonna be easy, you know? 🤔 I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the injury bug doesn't continue to plague them! 🤞
 
I feel for Mack Hollins, you know? He's been through a tough spot with that abdominal injury and it's frustrating for him and the team that he's still not cleared to play 🤕. I get why Coach Vrabel wants to make sure he's 100% before throwing him back into the mix. But at the same time, it's hard not to feel like Hollins is being held back just because of caution - I mean, we've all been there with injuries and knowing you're close but still gotta take care of yourself 🤦‍♂️.

The Patriots have a tough game coming up against Denver, no doubt about it. But I believe in this team and if they can get Hollins healthy (and not just for the playoffs, but for the sake of his own health too), they'll be unstoppable 💪. Stefon Diggs is right to be excited - Mack's return would definitely give them a boost 🎉!
 
Ugh, great, just what we need... more drama on top of their already tough season 🙄. I mean, come on, Mack, when are you gonna get activated? It's not like they don't know how important you are to the team 😒. And now they're relying on Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III to fill in for Hollins... yeah, because that's exactly what they need: more guys who are probably gonna get hurt too 🤦‍♂️. At least Stefon is excited about it, I guess? Can't wait to see how this all plays out on Sunday ⏰.
 
🤔 so like what's going on with Mack Hollins? 😩 his abd injuries kinda changed everything for the Patriots. i feel bad for Stefon Diggs though, he seems really hyped about Hollins' return 🤑 but at the same time, it's not like they have a backup plan or anything... 🤷‍♀️

i mean, Carlton Davis got knocked out of the game with a concussion which is super scary 😲. and then you gotta rely on Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III to step up? that's just crazy 💁‍♂️. they need Mack Hollins back ASAP or it's gonna be tough for them against Denver 🏈

i'm kinda curious, what's the timeline looking like for Hollins' return though? 🕰️ is it gonna be in time for Sunday's game? 🤞
 
Ugh 🤦‍♂️ this is gonna be a disaster... like, what's the point of even having a "season" if your star receiver is out? And now it sounds like he's not even gonna make it back in time for the big game... *sigh* The Patriots are already struggling and now they're gotta rely on those backup players to fill in? It's like playing with one hand tied behind their back 🤖. I mean, I guess Stefon Diggs is excited or whatever, but let's be real, we all know how it ends... 🚫💔
 
🤔 So, when life throws you curveballs like injuries on your team, do you try to rush back in or take the time to heal? 🏥 Sometimes, it's better to be cautious and prioritize your recovery than to risk making things worse. Remember, a healthy player is more valuable than a speedy return. ⏱️ The Patriots are learning this hard lesson right now! 💪 Take a moment to assess your situation, gather your strength, and then come back stronger. That's when you'll be unstoppable! 💥
 
I'm getting super anxious about this game, like they're gonna lose without Mack Hollins on their team! 🤕 They need him for the AFC championship, it's crucial, you know? He's been out for a while and I don't get why they're not activating him yet. I mean, I get that injuries happen but this is a big one, guys are already missing practice... Carlton Davis can't even do non-contact sessions! 😬 The team is all shook up right now, but if Mack comes back healthy, whoa, I think they got this! 🤞
 
Man, think about this... injuries are like life's unexpected twists and turns 🤯. One minute you're on top, the next minute your whole game plan is changed because of something out of your control. The Patriots know that with Mack Hollins back in the lineup, they've got a better shot at beating Denver. But what does that say about their mental preparedness for dealing with uncertainty? Are they preparing themselves (and each other) to adapt to any situation that comes up? That's the real test. Can you still perform under pressure and trust your teammates when the unexpected hits? 💪
 
🤔 The thing is, I think this is gonna be a big blow for the Pats if Mack Hollins doesn't make it back for Sunday's game. They've been struggling to find consistency on offense already and now they're relying on Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III to step up? It's a bit of a risk considering their inexperience at that position 🤷‍♂️. Still, with Hollins back, I think they might have a shot at beating Denver... but it's all about how quickly he can get his body right 💪🏽.
 
Man... this whole thing got me thinking about how injuries are like life itself - unpredictable and can totally flip your world upside down in a split second. One minute you're on top of the game, the next you're out with an injury and wondering if you'll ever be back to normal. I mean, Mack Hollins was doing well, catching some crucial passes and blocking like a pro... now his future is uncertain. It's like we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know?

It makes me wonder about the human condition - how we cope with uncertainty and adversity. The Patriots are feeling the pressure, but at least they have each other's backs... right? And it's not just about Hollins, it's about Carlton Davis too, who took a hit on the field... that's what sports is all about, I guess?

But honestly, if Mack Hollins does come back, man... it'd be like getting a second chance at life. You know, we're all running around out there trying to make our mark, trying to be the best version of ourselves... and then BAM! An injury comes along and you're left wondering what could've been. It's like, don't get me wrong, I'm rooting for the Patriots, but let's not forget that injuries are just part of the game, man 🤕
 
Omg this team needs Mack Hollins back ASAP!!! 🤞 The guy has been missing since the last game and it's like a part of them is missing too. Stefon Diggs said all players are hyped about his return and I feel you guys, it would be such a huge boost for their chances. They've got some talented players like Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III but they're not the same as having Hollins on the field. Let's hope he comes back strong for Sunday's game 🏈💪
 
OMG 🤯 the Pats are really struggling with injuries right now... it's like the universe is testing their will 😩... they need Mack Hollins back ASAP or Sunday's gonna be a real struggle 💔... I mean Stefon Diggs seems hyped about his return tho, that's a good sign 👍... fingers crossed he gets cleared to play 🤞
 
ugh this guy's return would make such a diff 🤞. like mack hollins has been out for ages and its gonna be super hard on the team without him. i feel bad for Carlton Davis too, concussion is no joke 🙏. coach vrabel needs to be more open about the team's chances if they dont get hollins back soon. it feels like theres always something going on with this team...
